•Self-hostable via Docker with automatic OAuth redirect URI construction
•Zero database maintenance—Bluesky infrastructure handles storage and moderation

Weaknesses

•Bluesky dependency limits adoption to users willing to create AT Protocol accounts
•Early stage with 72 commits—missing features like comment editing or threading

Post Description

I wanted to add a comment section to my blog, but Disqus felt bloated. Then I saw some people were rendering Bluesky posts as comments, but readers couldn't interact directly in article pages. So I created Juttu, an open-source comments widget that can be installed with 2 lines of HTML and allows readers to comment, like and repost by logging in with Bluesky (OAuth) directly in the article page. It's still very early stage, and it's also my first open-source project, so I hope I could get some feedback from more experienced people. Thanks :)
